Ship fuel consumption and emissions during low load manoeuvring conditions

Atmospheric Environment: X
Ship engine loading typically follows the propeller law, with fuel consumption models primarily using engine load as a predictor. However, this study highlights the limitations of propeller laws in accurately representing engine behaviour in port and ...

Biodiesel Production from Non-Edible Beauty Leaf (Calophyllum inophyllum) Oil: Process Optimization Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM)

Energies, 2014
In recent years, the beauty leaf plant (Calophyllum Inophyllum) is being considered as a potential 2nd generation biodiesel source due to high seed oil content, high fruit production rate, simple cultivation and ability to grow in a wide range of climate

Rethinking Power Solutions for Healthcare Wearables: From Point‐of‐Care and Episodic use to Continuous Monitoring and Therapeutic Platforms

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective examines practical power solutions for wearable healthcare systems, highlighting the limits of standard batteries. It categorizes wearables into four domains—point‐of‐care diagnostics, episodic monitoring, continuous long‐term monitoring, and therapeutic platforms—and analyzes their power needs.

Reconstruction of a genome-scale metabolic model and in-silico flux analysis of Aspergillus tubingensis: a non-mycotoxinogenic citric acid-producing fungus

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts
Background Aspergillus tubingensis is a citric acid-producing fungus that can utilize sugars in hydrolysate of lignocellulosic biomass such as sugarcane bagasse and, unlike A. niger, does not produce mycotoxins. To date, no attempt has been made to model
